Now Where Was I?

Now Where Was I?

In addition to being generally fascinating, the October 15th NYTimes Magazine article, Meet the Life Hackers, got me thinking about how an ODI can enhance productivity via simplicity. The article mentions that some "sickeningly overprolific" workers utilize the simplest tools to manage their daily tasks -- "they find one extremely simple application and shove their entire lives into it."

Perhaps an ODI website can be promoted as the end-all simple solution for enhancing productivity and task management. A clean, ultra-simple Google-like user-interface that provides users with a place to record what they're currently doing before they get interrupted, record To Do lists in a clean and simple manner, etc. E-mail reminders can be sent from the website to remind a user to complete a task. Like del.icio.us, which allows users to record bookmarks from any computer, this site could be used to allow a user to record their tasks at hand from anywhere. Something that allows a user to return from an interruption and answer the question, "Now where was I?
There seem to be a million CRM tools with a thousand screens each, but not one extremely simple, easy-to-use personal productivity tool that's available online. Your thoughts?

its a start to what you're proposing... but lacks a compelling feature to make it part of the daily workflow.

they do really well i think.
